The Galax Department of Social Services supports the proposed changes to uniformly treat income for all citizens and immigrant households as opposed to utilizing a "pro rata" formula for immigrant households.
This regulation would be a consistent step in aligning policies across Medicaid, SNAP, TANF Programs ensuring all of the income calculations are consistent for individuals we serve throughout our agencies.
